Mix natural peanut butter without mess

But what's the alternative? At room temperature, the oil separates, forming a thick pool at the top of the jar. Not stirring it in (and dumping it out) leaves you with dry, unappealing peanut butter.

Robert Witmer, the 51-year-old director of the Orrville, Ohio, YMCA, shared your frustration. So a few years ago he decided to do something about it. Thus was born Grandpa Witmer's Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Mixer.

This handy devise (which comes in a variety of sizes to accommodate different peanut butter jar styles) blends a jar top with a hand-cranked mixer, allowing you to mix your peanut butter with the jar closed.
